The Dunkl two-photon/Schrödinger algebras and their applications

Abstract

The work introduces the novel Dunkl two-photon and Dunkl-Schrödinger algebras as reflection-extended counterparts of the standard six-dimensional two-photon and Schrödinger algebras. These extensions are realized through the presence of an involutive generator representing a reflection, and they reduce to the undeformed two-photon and Schrödinger algebras in the absence of this additional generator in an appropriate limit. For both algebraic structures, which are shown to be isomorphic, we derive the associated cubic polynomial Casimir invariant. Furthermore, we identify several structurally significant subalgebras and compute their corresponding quadratic Casimir invariants. Representations of the Dunkl two-photon algebra are constructed on the Fock space of the one-dimensional Dunkl harmonic oscillator and subsequently translated into holomorphic realizations within the associated Dunkl-Fock-Bargmann representation. Finally, for the Dunkl-Schrödinger algebra, we present an explicit vector field realization in terms of the Dunkl spatial derivative, while keeping time continuous. When applied to the Casimir invariants of the aforementioned subalgebras, this realization yields a family of six nontrivial Dunkl differential-difference equations in $1+1$ dimensions, including, in particular, a Dunkl version of the well-known heat-Schrödinger equation.
